And they have that thing mentioned in the Video Game Vault, Stop n Swap!

Yeah, I watched that too. Such a damned shame it couldn't be implemented.

My copy works flawlessly.

So do my N64 carts. Huh.

My MM card would always crash after about three hours of continuous play. It was so goddamned gay.

Ya, it would've been neat to have back then.

re: my body is lady

Well, I heard there's a classic games store or something like it on the south side of Indianapolis (Greenwood, to be more exact), but I haven't had the time or means (you can thank a little thing called college) to go to Indianapolis, where I'll most likely have to go in order to get even the GC game. (I do have GC btw.) As far as I know it, there's not a single game store near here. Plainfield's the closest place that has one and if I go there, I might as well go to Indianapolis while I'm at it. Until then, I guess getting the rest of the stars and Goldeneye (I heard the second one was a failure btw.) will have to suffice. Well, at least for what I got on my N64 atm. After Goldeneye (assuming I don't get the LoZ games first), I think I'll move on to Metal Gear Solid (1-3)

re: my body is lady

I found this store near where I live. I noticed it was called "GamesPlus" and the fact that it's a game store not called GameStop or GameCrazy, it piqued my curiosity.

I went in, and while they offer new and used games like GameStop, there was something unique about it.
The current-gen PS3/360/Wii games used were only about $1 off, and a lot of the games were still the full $59.99, so as for buying new games, the place was useless.

But they had N64s, Dreamcasts, Ataris, Sega Genesis, SNES, NES, controllers, games, peripherals, etc. all for sale. I could have bought an N64 for $24 there.

They also had an overwhelming category of last-gen games, upon which I found a few gems that GameCrazy and GameStop are running out of.
I'm going to go back and see if I can find Ecco Defender of the Future for PS2. Ape Escape 3 was only $8 there...crazy!
Didn't have Ico though, :(

Their wall of PS2 games was...well...as long as a wall. So there's defintely some things I need to go looking for.

re: my body is lady

Ecco Defender of the Future was one of the scariest games I've ever played in my life.
Playing that game as a 10 year-old...the great white shark boss battle...omg >_>
Seeing him tear my dolphin to pieces....hearing that music....not being able to see him...

And the game is so weird....dolphins...and humans...and alien invasion....

the bosses of Ecco the Dolphin are known for giving anyone with hydrophobia or a fear of sea creatures a good panic attack.

The PS2 game was remarkably scary and yet good, IMO. So I want to complete it :/ I had it for Dreamcast, but I don't have that anymore....

re: my body is lady

oh hey look this isn't so bad, I'm just a dolphin with all of my fishy friends.

let's try to jump up REALLY high

c'mon, higher. . .higher. . .HIGHE-OHMIGODWHATTHEHELL?

they're all gone -_-


So, my M3 Real, a while back, stopped showing games in the game manager. I can't for the life of me figure out why. I have to launch games from the system folders, and that takes a long time/isn't user friendly for friends.

This sounds a bit like Jaws the game (someone I knew got this piece of shit awhile back), but better.

Except the games were never that good. I don't see what's so revolutionary/fun about being a dolphin and... saving the world.... it's a fucking dolphin.

Dolphins are supposed to be in the ocean and get their nose stuck in those plastic 6 can hole things. That's it.... not defend our future.

Suit yourself; they're classic and always have been. One of the first best serious puzzle-dungeon solvers of the 16-bit era (WITH DOLPHINS THAT TALK).

Though the PS2 version is just all kinds of scary.

I suppose Banjo should go eat some honey, Conker climb up a tree and crack some nuts, and Donkey Kong should go shit on a banana tree and stay the hell out of our games.

Banjo and Conker already do that ingame.

I want them to stay.

Nice Rare plug, though.

No, because those games are revolutionary and fun. Ecco The Dolphin is quite the opposite of having a good time.

@ Stavvy: No, there are no fixes yet. The only card that runs it is Acekard2 running Akaio.

Even if you don't find it fun, a game about dolphins stopping alien corruption of the earth's oceans is pretty revolutionary if you ask me.

Ew at liking terrible shitty games.
